DCEU is becoming the ultimate goldmine for ass-pull enthusiasts.

They're just bitter Civil War is flopping hard. And the hilarious thing is that it's flopping solely on the net, where fans hyped it up to be Avengers-like success.

That's because for a lot of people, the DCEU has entered the Tyson Zone. They'll believe literally anything they hear about it.

Don't do this.
Anyway, we kinda slacked with BvS regarding our own fake script. Let's make one after Suicide Squad hits. The key is to take every interview/news into account and reference the movies pre JL (like Wonder Woman) to look believable.

I hope Suicide Squad is sufficiently bizarre and fun. The worst thing that this movie could be is boring but ok. I want either a crazier Guardians of the Galaxy success or a Batman and Robin tier psychedelic disaster.

Dunno about financial success, but I hope it's at least better than Gotg. Ugh, that movie was just horrible.

I absolutely do not mind in the slightest that Civil War is doing better than BvS, but the relentless Marvel circlejerking here on Gaf is becoming increasingly annoying to the point that it by association makes me hate Marvel.
That BO thread is just beyond irritating to read. Imagine people doing that over at the Gaming side, they'd be banned in no time.

Huh? Why even bother.
Yeah best case it'll be like Guardians of the Galaxy fun. Do we know if it'll use any of the songs from the trailers in the movie?

I want it to be a fun flick, with good acting and dialogues too. What I heard in the trailers was downright cringeworthy at times, especially the last trailer. Seems like it's going to be heavy on the quips and humour. Hoping they atleast dispense with the Downey Humour, if it has that. I don't like that brand of humour at all, plus they'll be labelled copycats by the public.
Made a TV spot for the Blu-ray (which I'm expecting to be announced officially sometime this week)

Any legitimacy to that Tom Dagnino tweet? Doesn't seem nearly as credible as, say, McWeeny from all I've read.
His word is about as reliable as mine.

Good to hear.
I don't quite think it'll be the GOTG-level success people are hoping for, but I'm ballparking it to be decent/good at least. DC needs a hit.

BvS and MoS will be the most talked about CBMs for a while, the former because of the completely unexpected way it cratered, and the latter because it's legitimately divisive.
Kind of expecting SS to just come and go as an enjoyable movie. Doesn't seem like anything in particular will stand out except for Leto's performance.

I like how the arguments never get beyond "but but but collateral damage".
Perhaps BvS should've shown a scene where some government guy states that only 700 people or so died, because apparantly that way you can get away with destroying half of New York, Washington or whatever the fuck that Eastern European country was.

Yeah, people should be focusing more about how boring the final fight was and how lame Clark is the whole movie, as opposed to the collateral damage.
Those were way worse flaws, IMO. Was dozing off during the Metropolis fight, seriously.
But aren't you interested in how people twist Jonathan Kents words and make up things that didn't happen in order to paint Clark as a mass murderer?lol I saw that thread title and my immediate response was

Clark Kent has been Superman for a day why is he not perfect like my comic books FIRE JACK SNIDER CHANGE.ORG
I'm not arguing about MoS anymore but I do find it amusing how someone's dislike of a movie changes what actually happened in the movie. "Did you not watch BvS? They showed Superman basically speared Zod into a building with all those people."
In reality Superman got knocked into the building but sure. Tell me more about how I should watch.

The psychosis surrounding people's perception of the movie is fascinating. The fact they literally warp what CLEARLY happens on screen in order to fit the supposed criticisms is amazing.

One thing that fanboys can't argue is that the last three years for CBMs have been so very interesting.
This is the Golden Age without a doubt. In fifty years people will be missing even BvS.

On the earlier Suicide Squad talk, I'm all for a fun film but my hope is they don't suger coat how these are bad people. Humanizing and making them relatable is fine, so long as it's clear, you know, Deadshot kills people for money. And the Harley/Joker relationship is the toughest to balance.
You already know the Joker is going to slap the shit out of the Harley, making people real uncortable and leave the theatre.
It's funny my girlfriend loves Harley Quinn but would never want to do a couple cosplay since she hates the Joker as he relates to Harley with the domestic issues.

"Superman is an asshole because this and that"
"...that didn't even happen in the movie"
"Really? It's been forever since I saw it. Well whatever, Superman is still an asshole and the movie still sucks anyway. Also fuck Snyder"

Yeah they better not tiptoe around how fucked up Harleys backstory really is. Poster child for manipulated and abused woman and now we got little girls cosplaying as her lmao.
Joker is the most electrifying character in comic book movie history. If Leto does his job right then suicide squad should be fine
I went in there to see what was going down. At the very least it's good for a quick laugh at how both sides can be a little ridiculous and yea, I see that too. Blatant misinformation. I nearly quoted a post and went for it and then stopped myself.
It's one thing to dislike the movie or even outright hate it, I don't care about that, I'm sure I hate movies other people love too, but I don't go around making shit up.
I will be massively disappointed if they soften her origin. I'm cool with the female empowerment angle as it applies to her breaking free from Joker but she's still a murderous psychopath at the end of the day.

So to take our minds of the most recent Man of Steel thread.
I just had this thought.
What if
=
and for most of the movie Spectre takes Clark on a Sojourn and offering him the choice of staying dead, and showing him the future and that while bleak, the world and humanity will survive. Or going back, making the future brighter, but that his life would end lonely as he will outlive all of his, present and future, friends and loved ones.

The only thing we know is that he's a good guy.
I'm curious to hear why everybody thinks of Civil War's domestic box office performance thus far. Only a 179 OW, while really good, many considered 200+ to be a lock.
At the moment it's only predicted to make 425 domestically. Down from 459 of Ultron and the 623 of Avengers. Seems like the first one was the outlier.
CW is being received much better than Ultron, and although it's a Cap movie in name, the marketing made it clear that it's an Avengers film.
Think it's superhero fatigue? I've seen the lackluster reception of BvS used as an excuse, as well as CW just being another hero vs hero fight. Could it be people have just grown tired of the Marvel formula?
Not trying to start a war, I think it's an interesting topic to discuss with so many more films on the way.

It's not superhero fatigue. Avengers and Iron Man are the biggest marvel brands. Cap isn't though this one propelled it by including the avengers. That's about it.
Justice League I think will do around 800+. I don't really see anything hitting the billion dollar mark out of dc until batman

I only want to watch it for Spiderman, I have actually grown tired of the Marvel Formula. I haven't much non of their movies for a while now since I keep hearing its the same. I also really love watching comic book movies for the Villains and the only Marvel Villain I've liked was Obadiah.
If Suicide Squad sucks, I think my time with Superhero movies at the theater is over. BvS was already a disappointment for me

It's surprising because you got Spider-Man in there. Maybe the Captain America name is slowing it down. Maybe the lack of Hulk. From what I gather it's heading for Iron Man 3 numbers, which I believed to be the floor of what it'd make.
